He has more than 250 patent applications and publications to his name, and he is an Associate Editor for "Pest Management Science" of the Society of Chemical Industry (UK) and also a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for the "Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry" (Wiley-VCH).
Clemens Lamberth retired in 2024 after more than 30 years as a senior principal scientist in the chemical research department of Syngenta Crop Protection AG in Switzerland. He is specialized in the discovery of fungicides and is the inventor of the fungicide mandipropamid. He is the author of ca. 100 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters, 120 patents, and edited the two Wiley-VCH books "Bioactive Heterocyclic Compound Classes" and "Bioactive Carboxylic Compound Classes". In 2018, he received the Senior Industrial Science Award from the Swiss Chemical Society.
Beth Lorsbach is the Global Head of Innovation and Development at Nufarm in Indianapolis, USA. She is responsible for delivering innovative and disruptive solutions to solve farmers' needs as Nufarm pivots to become an agriculture innovator. She also provides technical, personnel, and organizational management of the chemistry functional groups whose focus is to discover and characterize novel active ingredients for commercial development. She has authored over 94 patent applications, 23 external publications, and 31 conference presentations.
